Protex Safe FW-1814Z Biometric (Fingerprint) Wall Safe
Protex FW-1814Z Wall Safe for Commercial and Agency Use
The Protex FW-1814Z is a wall safe built for hotels, medical offices, dispatch rooms and residential installations where a safe needs to disappear into stud framing rather than occupy floor space. Protex Safe has manufactured this class of unit since 1991 from its plant in Irwindale, California, and every figure on this page is taken from Protex's own published specification for the FW-1814Z rather than estimated.

Where the FW-1814Z is used
This wall safe suits hotels, medical offices, dispatch rooms and residential installations where a safe needs to disappear into stud framing rather than occupy floor space. The pattern it solves is simple: reduce the amount of cash, keys or sensitive paperwork sitting in the open during a shift, without giving every member of staff access to what has already been deposited. Separating the person who deposits from the person who can open the unit is the control that matters, and it is the reason this class of product is specified in retail loss-prevention and agency property procedures.
Installation and anchoring
At 29 Lbs this unit should be anchored. Protex supplies anchoring hardware and pre-drilled holes on units in this range. Anchor into concrete, masonry or structural timber — fixing into plasterboard alone defeats the purpose. For wall and floor models, confirm stud spacing, cavity depth or slab thickness before the install date, because a return for the wrong body depth is the most expensive mistake on these orders.
Buying for an agency, school or multi-site rollout
Security Pro USA supplies federal, state, local and commercial buyers, and can quote against a purchase order. For rollouts across multiple sites we can confirm keying arrangements, freight to each location and realistic lead time before you commit. Request a quote with the model number (FW-1814Z) and the number of units, and we will come back with pricing, availability and delivery. Volume, agency and reseller pricing is quoted rather than listed.

Frequently asked questions
What are the exterior dimensions of the Protex FW-1814Z?
The Protex FW-1814Z measures 14-1/8” (W) x 18-1/4” (H) x 3-7/8” (D) externally. Measure your opening against the exterior figure before ordering.
How much will the Protex FW-1814Z hold?
Usable capacity is 0.44 cubic inches. For cash handling that is normally quoted in envelopes or till bags per shift rather than volume, so tell us your drop volume and we will confirm the right model.
Does the Protex FW-1814Z need to be anchored?
At 29 Lbs the unit is light enough to be carried away unanchored, so Protex supplies pre-drilled anchor holes and hardware. Anchoring into concrete or structural timber is strongly recommended for any cash-handling install.
Can we buy the Protex FW-1814Z on a purchase order or agency terms?
Yes. Security Pro USA sells to federal, state, local and commercial buyers and can quote against a purchase order, including multi-unit and multi-site rollouts. Request a quote and we will confirm current pricing, lead time and freight.
